i see scary things here on this thread......


1) you should definitely be using grade 8 bolts on you suspension. with that being said, the correct ones that is,,,,,,the point of shear should not be where any threads are, it should be on a shoulder, a spacer should be used to create a crush or pull on the bolt equal to the downward force.

2) stainless hardware, is the weakest.....look at strengths. you will kill yourself with stainless bolts on your suspension. if designing a suspension is something you have never done...please please please consult with someone who has,.


jus' sayin'
